Why do girls on social networking sites "Duck Face"?

[SilentCom]

It's because they're part duck. Makes sense if you don't think about it.

 

[MindBullets]

Because for some reason they think it's sexy, I assume? I can only hazard a guess, seeing as none of my female friends do that so I can't ask for a direct explanation. Seems I've chosen my friends well.

I do not care what face they make.

Girls are hot.

This man is wise beyond his years.

I detect a large amount of, 'I aint gettin nun so ais pokes fun at em!' Going on in this thread.

Sure it doesn't make them look any more attractive. And sometimes you see a photo where you just gotta laugh. Even if they're in the same room as you.

But it's certainly not the big deal you guys are making it out to be.

Who said it was a big deal? We are just having a lol at a stupid facial expression...

That's not what the hundreds of.

(Paraphrasing inbound!)

'They're annoying and must be stopped'

'Obviously because they're stupid'

'Clearly it's because of evolution or something'

etc.

All I'm saying is I'm detecting high levels of virgin in this thread.

And clearly everyone is being deadly serious :|

I'm a girl and I think this is funny. My sister does over-exaggerated duck face as a joke all the time.

Come on it's just a bit of a laugh.

What I'm saying is that we need more sabertooth tigers roaming about in our modern-day society.

I second your motion.

To be honest. Most of the comments I've read don't seem like jokes.

The OP was pretty obviously having a laugh. But there seems to be a few weirdo's that have a genuine issue with it.

Then we can disregard them as we do kittens who steal lollipops.

(I'm not even kidding this happened to me this evening :| It was like a ninja)

 

[Deh Zebra]

BLowing a kiss; that's not so bad. Duck facing; who froze your face?

 

[War Penguin]

Apparently, Kate Beaton agrees with all of you: (fourth comic down)

OT: I have no idea. I agree it does make them look pretty ridiculous, but it's not that bad. Still, wouldn't hurt if they stopped.

WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DISREGARDING THAT? You need to train that mofo and have it steal other peoples shit. Then bring it to you.

Capitalise on the fledgling ninja cat.

It doesn't have a name yet and is male so I have dubbed him Ezio.

yeah duckface i got one girl on my facebook that like does in every other pic she is in but yeah whatever it aint that bad

 

[Nokterne]

they all are big ME fans and want to look like Grunt.

This seems the most likely explanation to me.

 

[The Serpent]

It's pretty lame. About as lame as every other pose. I just wonder why people haven't stopped posing for pictures yet. Whenever there's a camera around me I quickly make it look like I have no idea the camera is there, and wear a charming smile. I look awesome in pictures.

Seriously try it. I swear it works.

From what I have gathered from the girls I hang with that's the kind of things girls in their mid teen (most commonly those who are 14) does. The only girls I know that has ever taken a photo of themselves like that did it to be ironic (and didn't really succeed at it so I'm not sure if it counts).

Cool Chick Carol [http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/35x5/#by=sp] makes 'duckface' look good

no she doesn't

well IMO then she make makes it look good but that doesn't mean it looks good when other girls do it

No, she is a good looking girl, duckfacing... and it makes her look dumb, still good looking but dumb
